Around half a million customers of Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board in Bagerhat have been without electricity for two days after Cyclone Remal devastated the district’s utility system. Zahangir Hossain, a member of Karapara Union Council in Sadar Upazila, said power connections to more than 4,000 customers in his ward were cut off on Sunday afternoon before the storm hit the coasts that night. Some will get power today, but I can’t confirm the number,” he said. “And it cannot be said for sure when it will be possible to fully restore the connections,” Sushanta added. The Bagerhat Rural Electrification Society has 485,000 customers, he said.
